No, I'm just jerking your chain...I shoot mostly in B&W these days and enjoy seeing others who do too

found the Elektra from a local ebay seller, did a complete overhall, then purchased the Sette from a local craigslist seller.
All in for less than $900!!!

after over a MONTH I am finally starting to pull some half way decent shots! Learning curve for me was much more difficult than I ever imagined!

Either way, the pic/set-up looks great no matter where I see it! Love the wooden knobs, will need to look for getting some for my ECM.

Been lurking here for a while, and this is my first post.
Thought I'd add to this awesome thread.
My coffee bar is in our dinning room (can't hog all of the kitchen space!)
La Spaziale S1 Vivaldi II -- fed by a 5 gallon bottle and Flowjet pump in the cabinet
Mazzer Supper Jolly, I weigh 16 grams on a scale, and dump in the top. The Full Throttle can has a hole cut on the back side to match the grinder exit. Then I pour into the portafilter.
The tamping pad is a clicker type for correct tamping pressure.
3 Motta steaming pictures and knock box
Behmor coffee pot
Cabinet is an inexpensive one from a big box store. I modified a piece of counter top by cutting off the backsplash and making it 5' long.
Overall, it works well.

That's a beautiful ensemble for sure, Bill ! But I'm always a bit concerned when I see a water source poised above electronics. I get antsy watching someone put a cup of coffee next to a computer, and I decompensate when a fellow musician puts a drink on his or her amplifier on stage. So I couldn't live with an espresso machine above an audio system.

Thanks for posting - your setup is truly a pleasure to see!
